CAPI V2 End-of-Life: Brownouts start Oct 14; EOL on Feb 2, 2027

· 6 min read

Cloud.gov is retiring the Cloud Foundry API (CAPI) V2 on Tuesday, February 2, 2027​

As we announced on January 7, 2025, we are retiring version 2 of Cloud Foundry API (CAPI V2), and will soon use only version 3 of the API (CAPI V3). Over the last 20 months, our Cloud.gov community has done a terrific job in adopting CAPI V3, and CAPI V2 only accounts for 0.15% of all our CAPI traffic.

On February 2, 2027, CAPI V2 will be permanently disabled on Cloud.gov. Tools that depend on V2, including Cloud Foundry CLI (CF CLI) v6 and v7, will stop working and will not work again.

Ahead of that date, Cloud.gov will run four scheduled brownouts: temporary, planned windows during which we disable V2 endpoints so you can discover if any of your tools depend on them — while there is still time to fix them. Service returns to normal at the end of each window.

As a customer, you need to:

  • Check that you are using V3-compatible tooling (see below).
  • Test your deployment and other automated processes during the V2 brownouts to see if anything breaks — indicating a possible V2 dependency.

All the details are below. We expect this change will have no impact on most customers, but you are responsible for testing your own tooling.
